Did you implement your ERP system 5 years ago… or maybe 20 years ago? At the time, it was like a brand new car… sleek, fast, top-of-the-line, and fuel-efficient. And although it may have needed a few minor “adjustments”, overall you were very pleased. Fast forward to today. Does it still have that new car smell? Does it run as efficiently as it used to? Do you know how to fix a problem when it occurs?

While ERP systems are certainly designed to last, over time, your business changes, your customers’ needs change, employees change and you are left with a system that may run “fine”, but you certainly don’t feel the same way about it as you did when it was brand new.

So the good news is that you CAN restore that “new car smell” with a utilization review. What is a utilization review? It's an opportunity for someone, outside of your organization, to evaluate the “what”, “how”, “who” and “why” related to the software that you use to run your business. Our consultant reviews current usage and related business processes of your entire ERP system, or a particular area like Finance, Manufacturing, Materials Management, or Technology to make recommendations that will reinvigorate your ERP system and those that use it.

Stop avoiding the warning light that indicates a serious problem and get started with a FREE 1-hour phone assessment to determine if your business can benefit from a utilization review!

A utilization review can be performed 100% remotely via phone or web meeting, or in person, following safety guidelines. 

Regardless of the size of your business, continuous improvement in productivity is essential to enhancing gross profits and maintaining competitiveness.

What will you do when your ERP is no longer supported in 2021?

This is a confusing time for many companies with respect to their ERP system.

"Will I still be able to run my current version?"
"What happens if I want to stay on my version?"
"What options do I have?"

Crossroads RMC is here to help you sort through the confusion and get you to a place where you feel confident about your ERP future.

Let's get started with how we can help. I want Crossroads RMC to…

• Conduct an Infor ERP Utilization Review – Should I consider moving to the latest version of LX in the cloud, or on prem? If I don’t, what are my options?
   
• Set up an Infor ERP Demo System – I want to give my employees a chance to try out the latest version to see if it would be of benefit.
   
• Train My Employees – I want to ensure that we’re operating based on best practices.
   
• Integrate My ERP to External Systems – My company uses separate systems that don’t talk to one another and that is really inefficient.
   
• Brainstorm With Me – I’m not sure what to do. I need to talk through some scenarios with someone who has been there, done that.
   
• Support My Users – I’m short-staffed. I may upgrade, or I may stay where I’m at. Either way, I could use someone to handle our ERP issues. Please help!

Considering tax compliance, but not sure if it’s the right time?

We know that many businesses are facing financial difficulties and need to make hard decisions.

Our partners at Avalara are offering 90 days of free US tax automation for all new AvaTax customers. This means you can implement AvaTax into your Infor product, shopping cart, billing system, etc, without having to pay anything for three months. Learn more>

Tax exempt? Avalara can automate that process too. Focus on what really matters right now, like managing cash flows, and driving revenue initiatives, and leave the tax compliance piece fully automated. 

No matter how large or small your manufacturing plant is, efficiency and productivity relative to your capital investment are the keys to maintaining your competitive edge. Wasting time and money is not something anyone wants to do, but manufacturers need to be especially mindful of both and actively work to address any issues that lead to productivity or financial loss.
